That boy was Dorian Murray, and he'd been fighting cancer for 4 years.
His dad posted his wish online, and thousands of people from The Great Wall to Africa to Hollywood and everywhere in between snapped pictures of themselves holding signs for Dorian. Signs that said #Dstrong.
And now one photographer, a friend of Dorian's family who took the photo that fueled the movement, is on a mission to increase support for pediatric cancer research by capturing the faces of these children and their families — their courage and their struggles, their challenges and their triumphs.
THE FACES OF PROJECT 3.8
THE FACES OF PROJECT 3.8
With your help, the stories of these children — the story of Dorian and any child fighting cancer — can travel far, from one state to another and even abroad, to touch hearts and rally more support for kids with cancer.
Proceeds benefit the Dorian J. Murray Foundation, which works to increase support for pediatric cancer initiatives, and enable the exhibit to move forward with more shows.
